Juniper SRX Series Firewall Reviews

We use it as a perimeter firewall, data center firewall, and as VPN concentrators for some companies. It protects the data behind our switches. Our company provides the switches, like the EX-Series. 

We are an elite partners for Juniper. We use the firewall for data protection.

It has a high security implementation.

It integrates well with Fortinet and Palo Alto.

It uses many applications, like antivirus blocking and web filtering. Also, defining routing on it is very easy along with netting. The high availability of the application is good. We use the IDS and IPsec VPN features.

I would like to see endpoint control and endpoint testing security.

The GUI needs to be easier to handle.

The stability is good.

The scalability is good.

When we face problems, it is a firmware or software update. We call Juniper for support and they have a very good team for technical support. They help us a lot, then we will find the solution in the upgraded version of software of unit. 

I think there was a problem before I came to the company with Cisco and their firewall, so they decided to switch to Juniper.

It is more complex than other vendors, but we have gotten used to it. So, we find it easy to implement and deploy.

It has a low price.

We are also using Fortinet and have a partnership with Palo Alto. In addition, we are looking into a partnership with Citrix.

Cisco and FortiGate were on original shortlist.

They can use the Juniper SRX as a data center firewall. Juniper needs to focus more on their perimeter firewalls.

Our most important criteria is to look for 24-hour support, prices, partnerships, and what they offer to partners. Also, we want to know if the product can function with Juniper.

We use Juniper SRX to create VPN tunnels to the data center.

I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance.

In the next release, I would like to have a better web interface. It needs to be more user-friendly. Right now, you can only access many features through the console.

We have been using Juniper SRX for about five years.

Juniper SRX is a stable solution that performs well.

Juniper SRX is a scalable solution.

Technical support is brilliant, but I guess you have to pay for it.

The initial setup was straightforward. The time it takes to implement this solution depends on the complexity of the configuration.

We implemented this solution by ourselves.

In general, their price definitely couldn't be cheaper. 

I would recommend this solution to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Juniper SRX a ten.

We use it to deploy the firewall.

Sometimes we use the newer version, sometimes the older version. It depends.

In terms of valuable features, Juniper firewall filtering is good.

Juniper SRX's UI is very bad. We have to use CLA all of the time and Sky ATP.

If I compare Fortinet with SRX, particularly for filtering websites and email addresses, SRX is very very difficult.

I have been using Juniper SRX for the last five to six years.

It is good for a medium sized network. It depends how it is deployed.

If you look at the Gartner rating, Juniper is not among the top rankers.

The scalability is fine.

Since COVID, the tech support is not much good. You have to wait a long time. For example, if you open up a case, you don't know how much time it will be before they come and if the person opening the ticket is even experienced.

Because I have been using Juniper for five years, for me the setup is not hard. But compared to FortiGate it is much more difficult for new users.

It is on a subscription basis, mostly yearly. It totally depends on the customer. The customer gets a discount on the hardware.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Juniper SRX a seven.

The primary use case of this solution is as a firewall and a security gateway. 

The most valuable feature is the support.

The user interface and the GUI need improvement.

In the next release, I would like to see mobile support.

I have been using Juniper SRX for ten years.

We are using various versions.

It's a stable solution.

Juniper SRX is scalable.

We have 10 users in our organization.

Technical support is perfect.

We have not used another product previously.

The initial setup is straightforward and it took three hours to deploy.

Juniper SRX does not require a lot of maintenance.

We did not implement it ourselves. We had help from technical support.

We plan to continue the usage of this program in the future.

This is a product that I can recommend to others who are planning to implement it.

I would rate Juniper SRX a ten out of ten.

Our primary use is having a virtual appliance vSRX PoC in telco. We tested integration to their Vim, function and performance.

vSRX's performance is best with less resources, such as CPU and memory. It is easy to scale up by attaching more CPU and memory.

vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX). It has already been tested with virtual acceleration, such as DPDK, SR-IOV, and PCI-Passthrough.

It could improve areas which need high performance. 

Small enterprises or telco have variant licenses, and this licensing model should be improved.

• Traceoptions
• Commit check
• Route/IPSEC VPN

It provides us with easy options for troubleshooting.

• Switching
• Routing

I've used them for two years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

There were limited security zones with each model.

10/10.

9/10.

It's a straightforward setup for us as we have a configuration template.

It depends on our customers requirements.

Check the customer requirement first.

We are a distributor and Juniper SRX is one of the products that we work with. The SRX is a service gateway device that serves two main functions. The primary function is as a firewall, and the second is for routing traffic.

It can serve as a branch firewall or data center firewall, as well as a next-generation firewall, based on the license.

Juniper SRX has many good features that suit a variety of customer requirements.

Performance is a strong point.

There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product.

Technical support could be improved by adding local engineers.

I have been working with this product for a few months.

The Juniper SRX is very stable. Stability and performance are the strengths of Juniper products.

We have clients of all sizes for this product, from small businesses to service providers. It is very scalable.

I would rate the technical support at medium. The support is good, but other vendors have local engineers. This is something that could be improved.

The initial setup is straightforward and very easy. The length of time for deployment depends on the size of the solution.

Compared to other vendors, the pricing of this solution is good.

This is a product that I very much recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The most valuable features in this solution are AppSecure and the IPsec VPN.

The solution previously had a Clientless SSL VPN, but it has been removed and I would like access to it again.

The GUI needs improvement. I can work fine with the command line (CLI), but new people would like a better user interface.

I would like to see an SSH VPN in the next release.

I am very satisfied with the stability of this solution.

We have more than one hundred users for this solution. They range from non-technical, Level 1 users, up to administrators, technical support staff, and expert-level users.

I am satisfied with their technical support. It is better than what I have experienced with some other solutions.

This is the first solution that we implemented.

I find the setup simple, given that I have been using it for ten years. The deployment is quite easy and fast.

The price of this solution is more than other products, but it's stable, and the technical support is better than I have seen with others.

The solution was in place before I joined the company, so I am unaware if we evaluated other solutions.

We have found this solution to be easy to implement and easy to use. It is a little more expensive than some products, but it is worth the investment.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
